Since my teenage years, I am deeply interested in visual arts and curious about how we communicate through symbols. Therefore, when I decided to rethink my career paths, back in 2016, I started to take some photography courses, aiming to learn more about images and to reconnect myself with what captivates me.

 

In my daily life, I am constantly trying to be pragmatic and logical. However, my art tends to be quite the opposite. As a way of provoking and questioning realities, my creations are heavily surreal and/or psychedelic, resulting in images in which the limits and layers are unclear. My goal, so, is not to “freeze time”, but to create something unseen and reimagine possibilities.

​

Due to my will to experiment and go beyond what we see through the regular lenses, I ended up falling in love with analog photography. When my father gave me his dear Pentax MESuper, I got instigated to understand what film could offer me that my digital equipment couldn't. After shooting my second roll, therefore, I decided to play with the chemicals before developing it, making my first film soup recipe. The results were, for me, extremely mind-blowing, and I immediately wanted to experiment more with film and its possibilities.

​

My passion became even more intense when I learned how to make my first double exposures. After that, I decided that my relationship with film was going to get serious, and I ended up buying a Nikon F100 to have more control over this technique. (Most of the images you will see in this website were created with this cyborg baby, by the way!)

​

Although I rarely work as a photographer— and, unfortunately, it has been harder and harder to keep myself regularly shooting (both due to film prices and time) — I am constantly trying to keep my creativity flowing. And, since I definitely feel the urge to hang out with my gear from time to time, I have been making it work at my own pace. 

​

In the past couple of years, I took part in some art exhibitions, was published in international and national magazines, gave interviews about my work/projects and had my images decorating album covers. You can check my art curriculum below:
